Question 16





Two small metallic spheres, each of mass m =
, are suspended as pendulums by light strings of length L as shown in Figure P23.16. The spheres are given the same electric charge q =
, and they come to equilibrium when each string is at an angle of u th =
with the vertical. How long are the strings?
